Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the vessel TZIERZYNSKY is located at coordinates 51 17.917 N, 4 17.637 E off the coast of Belgium near the port of Ostend. Historical hydrographic data from the UK Hydrographic Office originally identified the site as a dangerous wreck marked by green conical light buoys. Following initial surveys in 1966 and 1968, the obstruction was categorized as a foul site. Subsequent monitoring led to the withdrawal of navigational buoys and the eventual removal of the wreck from official nautical charts by 1997. The site is currently classified as dead, meaning it is no longer considered a navigational hazard for vessels transiting these coastal waters.
